Martin Dugard and Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln : the shocking assassination that changed America forever by Tom Szollosi( )

"The man with six weeks to live is anxious. He furls his brow, as he does countless times each day, and walks out of the Capitol Building, which is nearing completion. He is exhausted, almost numb."It is a rare to find a historical work written in the present tense, but in Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever, that is what Martin Dugard and Bill O'Reilly have done. In a USA Today interview, "O'Reilly says Dugard did the research on the Lincoln book, and 'I wrote it. A true collaboration.'" While the book is light on attribution, it is a compelling and fast read. O'Reilly says he "wanted [Killing Lincoln] to read like a thriller... for people who are not particularly interested in history, and to show what true leaders are like." It does indeed read like a thriller. Using the present tense gives the work immediacy and heightens pace, but at times also feels intrusive because the subject matter so clearly isn't immediate today. A historical overview might be better served by the good old past tense. Nevertheless, the book brims with conspiracy facts, touching on mysteries never conclusively proven wrong-although they've also never been proven right. Most notable of these theories is one centering on Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who was in possession of assassin John Wilkes Booth's diary, thanks to the work of private investigator Lafayette Baker. Baker was personally hired by Stanton and gave him the diary, which he found in Booth's hotel room. Furthermore, when Stanton finally released the diary, 18 pages were missing, raising many an eyebrow. The Stanton theory has, as the authors admit, been "repudiated and dismissed by the vast majority of trained historians."

Quicklet on Chuck Pfarrer's SEAL Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of The Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden by Tom Szollosi( )

2 editions published in 2012 in English and held by 7 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

ABOUT THE BOOK Chuck Pfarrers book is a departure from the norm. It claims to be the first authoritative, inside account of legendary Navy SEAL Team Six, a group so elite that fellow SEALs call them Jedis. It is also the first time details of a SEAL operation have been made public. Previously, such information was secret. Because the SEAL Teams were created, along with the Armys Green Berets, at the direction of President John F. Kennedy, this book breaks a silence held dear by SEAL personnel for half a century. Not everyone approves. US Special Operations Command spokesman Col. Tim Nye has said ... Its just not true. Its not how it happened. Even more accusatory, Nye also says its a lie and factually far off the mark. MEET THE AUTHOR Tom Szollosi graduated from UCLA in 1972 with a degree in English Literature. After a short stint in advertising, he wrote for television beginning in 1976, and has continued to the present, logging over 100 episodes of both drama and comedy. Tom has also written five motion pictures, four novels, and taught screenwriting at UCLA Extension for six years. Tom loves baseball, writing, books, and politics, though not necessarily in that order. Most recently, he has been exploring the world of e-books. He is married, has two sons, and lives in Los Angeles. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The training period to earn a Navy SEAL qualification of combat swimmer, is two-and-a-half years. In addition to this, SEAL Team Six operators have decades of experience, all of which came to use at Abbotabad, Pakistan, on May 1, 2011. On this date, Navy SEALs leaped from helicopters into the high-walled compound of Osama bin Laden. No one in Abbotabad imagined Osama bin Laden was being interdicted, because no one knew he lived there. Nearby, the large military base where many of Pakistans highest ranking officers were stationed was caught unaware. Their secret guest had been found.

Quicklet on chris anderson's the long tail (cliffnotes-like summary) by Tom Szollosi( )

ABOUT THE BOOK Sporting the provocative subtitle: "Why The Future of Business Is Selling Less of More," The Long Tail is a watershed moment in how we think about business in the Internet Age. Twentieth Century businesses founded on the idea of "hits" emphasized the top ten, twenty, fifty -- pick a number -- of almost anything that could be sold. Movie box office, music, or new cars were judged by sales rankings, and those rankings were equated with quality, desirability, and value. Author Chris Anderson, in many ways a true man of the 21st Century, has a different theory. He posits that
